North America: The New Weapon of Mass Destruction
Armour144
There was once a time where great armies ruled this e-world. There was once a time where the most powerful tanks could be the downfall of an entire region. Not anymore it isn’t. What is the new secret weapon?
Timezones!
Those who have the power to control such a beast can use it to their great advantage by hitting an enemy when they are at home, all tucked in by mommy, and fast asleep. After all, is there a better way to take what you want than when they are sleeping?
It has been the leading factor to Canada spearheading a charge into Scotland, Northern Ireland, and even North East of England against the UK and 7 allies. Among those allies are countries such as Serbia, Hungary, France, and Germany. The manpower of just Serbia or Hungary alone would be more than enough to spank us back to Newfoundland, but conveniently enough, they’re all having sweet dreams like their British friends.
For example, if it is 10 pm in Canada (which is when the battles have been largely decided), it is 4 am in Hungary and 3 am in England.
Of course there are still a few determined tanks who stay up past their bedtimes and try to inflict as much damage as they can, but that is an effort that tends to fail when hundreds of Canadians chase after you.
Some of them decide to plant their units in the capital city and hope it lasts until the next morning.
That tactic sure didn’t work in NE England, as in 1 turn the Canadian armies smashed a 72 man garrison down to just 10, when we only had 27 units on the entire battlefield.
It would seem that the only hope of actually defending yourself is launching the attack at a prime time for your own nation. This, of course, doesn’t give you much of an advantage though if your opponent is from the same time zone as you, which is the basic situation in Europe. Luckily for us, far across the Atlantic in North America, we only share time zones with the US, and the South American countries.
That suddenly makes Canada and the US very powerful weapons. We suddenly enjoy a luxury of night attacks that the all of Europe can’t do.
We’re a hell of a lot more powerful than in V1. All because of time.
Although Phoenix does have countries such as Brazil and Argentina on its side in South America, they fail to match the power that the US can exert.
So what does this mean for EDEN and the Brolliance? Well, perhaps it wouldn’t hurt to utilize this gaping advantage that has developed by using the US as a way to launch attacks throughout Europe.
Of course if another country manages to launch attacks on the US and break their ability to press the big red button when they want, then the US essentially becomes useless. But if that is avoided, and we keep the initiative, the US could powerhouse their way through ridiculous odds, like what Canada has just shown against the UK and her 7 allies.
We also have another bonus for being well away from Europe. Nobody can do “sneak attacks” on us. As long as we hold on to our European allies, they can’t take us down while we sleep, because the field would be filled with Croatians, Romanians, and just about any other European EDEN nation.
So for those in North America hating on the Military Module, you should actually be thanking it, because it just gave us a lot of power.

Hell yeah!
Congratulations, admins handed EDEN another gift
Bros could rule the world.
Looks like it's...
*put on shades*
...nights out for the UK.
@Tomazin, it was this same gift that had Croatia getting wiped during battles that ended at weird times for North America. Keep bawing.
Oh Hell Yes!
Great stuff, Armour.
Tomazim, time for PHX to make friends in South America
Romania says "Hi!"😃
I SALUTE your initiative!
HAIL EDEN
😁
timing timing timing !
Yup, a pretty little bonus from another of those "unintended consequences" of V2. For example, I quit one MMORPG that had me getting up at 2am to defend against attacks on my villagers, only to unintentionally get into one that may have us doing the same. Don't mind me; I just like to be a grump. We are lucky to have allies who can watch our backs while we sleep.
awesome
We had 24-hour battles in v1 with allies in Croatia and Romania, so we've always had that timezone advantage. I think our good fortune is having European allies and in having military leadership and troops with a strong understanding of the game.
In V1 you could commit all you had at any time of the day. You could log in and inflict 1000 damage that will still be there at the end of the fight.
Now, the entire battle is decided within an hour or two at the end, and what happened earlier usually doesn't seem to have very large of an impact
The admins didn't decide to betray us. You wouldn't even have to worry about us and time zones if you didn't betray us
nice
Great article!

Russia is trying to use this idea with time zones to their advantage with Scotland by starting the battle in the middle of the afternoon in eastern standard time
Kudos and respect to our European allies!!
Here's to the forging of even more alliances, not only among the Europeans, but also among all of the other vibrant nations scattered all over this eWorld, small and large alike.

You can ask them to give you some brains next, if you are really nice
